No Checkpoints on the new endgame activity is inexcusable (Destiny)

The issue, and what I don't get, is that you go full Casual and expect to be rewarded for failing to complete the game's top-tier challenge. You get rewarded at the end. If you fail/give up, you get nothing, and you have to start over.

Based on Bungie's game design though, that isn't an outright "fail". The game rewards you each small victory and, usually, leaves the big rewards for the harder or final battles (Mythoclast, Fatebringer, etc.). PoE's loot system is a big departure from Destiny's loot stream. Due to the length of time it takes to beat Skolas, I don't think it is a good change.
